Vibraphonist Lionel Hampton Dead at 94
There's a great irony in the fact that my friend Christian wrote yesterday to ask if I knew anybody who was selling a used vibraphone. Little did I know that it was the eve of Lionel Hampton's death. Hampton's records are strewn about the trunk of my car and we will miss him [ny times]. I loved Hampton's gift for melody and I'd like it even more if Christian picked up his vibraphone and came out to play with my fusion band.
